Heritage Hall was founded September 8, 1969 [1] in the church basement of All Souls Episcopal Church in Oklahoma City. Heritage Hall was established during the integration of Oklahoma City public schools in response to cross-city busing. [2]

The School's motto is "To Learn, To Lead, To Serve." Heritage Hall's institutional core values are: moral courage, personal responsibility, active kindness, and intellectual purpose. The school symbol is a torch that burns with the letters HH.

Heritage Hall serves children from preschool through 12th grade, and has about 965 students. [3] Racial diversity in the student body closely matches the Oklahoma state average, with an enrollment of just over 20% of students of color.[ citation needed ] Each grade in the Upper School has about 90 students.[ citation needed ]

The current school president, Aaron L. Fetrow, was appointed in 2021.

Heritage Hall's athletic teams are nicknamed the Chargers. The school colors are navy blue and gold. As a member of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, middle school and high school students are able to participate in more than a dozen competitive sports, from American football to tennis, basketball, swimming, golf, soccer, baseball and softball.

Until 2015, Heritage Hall and neighboring Casady School held rivalries against one another.
